Valgrisenche

The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise.

The avalanche prone locations are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise.

The older wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases. These avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Especially at intermediate and high altitudes these avalanche prone locations are more widespread. They are sometimes covered with new snow and are therefore difficult to recognise, caution is to be exercised on very steep slopes at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack.

In some localities 5 to 10 cm of snow, but less in some localities, fell in the last few days. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. In all aspects snow depths vary greatly above approximately 2000 m, depending on the infuence of the wind. Adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas and at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions a little snow is lying.

The avalanche danger will persist.
